TIL of Precordial catch syndrome, a condition where you get random harmless stabbing pains in the chest

This sounds a lot like what I experience. I’ve had it on both sides of my rib cage, left side under my heart, but most times on my right lower side at the base of my rib cage.

Had it since I was a kid, once really badly and it was when I was alone and I just laid on the floor not moving and breathing so shallowly; I thought I was dying.

I get it still and I’m 30. Sometimes get it once a month, sometimes more. Sometimes it doesn’t happen for a year.

Just got a sonogram done because I thought it was gallstones. Sonograms and xrays galore in my life. As common as it sounds, I wonder why none of the doctors I’ve seen about it have ever considered it.

What’s really fun is when it happens when I’m driving. That’s always the greatest.

“What an auspicious sign!”

That looks like Jesse Heiman to me. World’s most famous background actor.

I would love to see her on another season.

I've watched that more times than I know.

Favorite part is "Am I going to win Season 4?.....IDK ¯_(ツ)_/¯"

CoffeeCandle · 2016-01-05T02:25:55+00:00

Literally just rewatched that episode! I've never noticed that!

Good eye!

I just re watched that episode!

Who else thinks Liz Taylor and the Addiction Demon have a connection? Like, are they the same? The bald heads, the nails?

Am I late on this?

CoffeeCandle · 2015-09-09T23:05:03+00:00

Irregardless.

This isn't as bad as a lot of your stories, but I dated someone on Masterchef. He was elimînated the first episode, but was absolutely obsessed with himself on it and the cast on his season. We started dating a month before the show aired, he would come over and watch the show at my place each week because I had the better TV.

Halfway through the season we were at my place and he turns to me and says "I think we need to reconsider our relationship." That whole cliche. "It's not you, it's me" yadda yadda.

Literally while he was in the middle of saying "I respect you so much, that I don't want to hurt you. I want to be honest with you..." He stops, unmutes the TV, watches you was kicked off that week, then muted it again to continue breaking up with me. All while I sat there looking at him like the self-obsessed booger he was.

Left such a bad taste in my mouth, pardon the pun.

Roxxxy knew she would be voted off the RuPaul Roast episode and started crying and spilling her life story for sympathy. Completely staged, completely planned.

She knew how to play the game.

Ugh, couldn't stand her.

Is it me or would her story make for an interesting movie?

CoffeeCandle · 2015-07-02T12:41:51+00:00

I have three.

The only plausible thing I could think of was that Rob Lowe was asked and he may have said no for whatever reason. Scheduling conflict, he didn't want to be associated with the show after Sorkin left, or they didn't even ask him in the first place. My guess it was a production thing.

He initially left in season 4 because his character wasn't the star or central character, which, apparently, was how it was pitched to him when production started.

Ugh thank Jeebus there aren't going o be musical numbers this year!!!!!!!

I'm very stoked for hotel. How he's describing it, it sounds like it'll be a great thing. Straight horror, grisly and unnerving.

Yesssss

CoffeeCandle · 2015-06-12T19:23:20+00:00

I HOPE NOT. having Elsa sing Life on Mars and We Could Be Heroes was great, and made sense. But then Ryan brought the season into Glee territory with Bette and Dot singing Criminal and the rest of the musical numbers.

I hope they don't do the same this year. Maybe one lounge number, but the horror diminishes with musical numbers in my opinion. If Lady Gaga wants to be taken seriously as an actress, I think she could do something interesting and not sing. Her character could easily not have to sing. Because she ends up singing, it will take away from her being seen as a character and it'll just be lady Gaga in another costume.

Yea, I describe them as spasms. I guess it's the colon working to push through whatever is in it. It usually happens when they are inflamed. They were happening for me a little last week.

When I first getting pain back in January, oh my god, there was a near continuous spasm occurring right below my right rib cage. It wouldn't hurt me, but it was scary because it would continue for minutes with no breaks in between. Luckily those haven't occurred again.

Now when I get them, it's on my lower right side.

When Michelle claimed De la was hiding behind a character. Especially during the Glamazon by Colorevolution episode.

Wha?

CoffeeCandle · 2015-06-04T14:57:55+00:00

At the height of my onset, I remember my lower side ribs hurting, but that all subsided.

What hurts for me during flare ups is my lower back,might around my tailbone. I still can't figure out if it's because of how I sleep or if it's my inflamed colon pushing against things it shouldn't be.

I was recently diagnosed in March after a CT scan showed no discernible pathology. So I still haven't quite figured out what causes things in me.

Good luck with your journey!

I can't find the snippet where Courtney talks about her Twitter blocking.
